Showing 'Owner' in Gallery

Posted on 16 Oct 2022 23:56:02 by 29

Greetings!

 

I'm trying to create a simple power app for logging updates at work and can't get the Gallery to show the 'Owner' of the entry from the Data Table.  I found a few things about the 'Created by' column being all but impossible to put into a Gallery because it comes from a Lookup Table, but the 'Owner' is fixed.  The Record has already been made, why is the Gallery unable to read this?

 

Is it possible to Patch the 'Owner' field into a separate Text Column the Gallery could pull from? But wouldn't that also mean that someone could edit it?

 

Any insight on this, or a work around that doesn't involve people to manually add their names would be very helpful, and as always, a big thank you for any assistance with this.

    I know this topic is dead,  but the answer to the specific question of how to show owner in gallery depends on whether the owner is a user or a team:

    AsType( ThisItem.Owner, Users ).'Full Name' 
    AsType( ThisItem.Owner, Teams ).'Team Name'

    Hey @RogersB,

     

    I guess it's a Dataverse table that you're using. In the "Text" property of the text field where you would like to display the Owner Name, try the following line:

    ThisItem.'Created By'.'Full Name'

     

    Let me know if it helps!

    @MoAccountant  using a Data Table built in Power Apps, not sure if that is a Dataverse or Sharepoint.

    Are you using Dataverse or Sharepoint to host the data?
